After dinner, Fang Yan was pulled by the old madame to talk about her life. Fang Minghao was mysteriously pulled by the Zheng couple to the study room for a chat. Zheng Weiqian was pulled by his sister to his room right after he put down his chopsticks. “Ge, are you being serious?” She could feel that the way her brother treats Fang Yan is special. From what she heard from Mulin, her brother would never leave work early, but because of her, he did just that and her brother wouldn"t take a girl home, except for Lin Xuanxuan. Also, her brother even admitted that he is chasing her.
“Xiao Ya, what are you trying to say?” Zheng Weiqian doesn"t understand why his sister pulled him away.
“What I want to say is, what about Xuanxuan? You clearly know that she is in love with you.” She and Lin Xuanxuan are good friends, she is very clear about what is going on in her heart, but now.
“Xiao Ya, she and I never had anything. It is just your misunderstanding.” Regarding this issue, he felt like he addressed it many times already.
“Then you shouldn"t have given her the wrong message.” Because they are best friends, she felt like she needed to speak out on behalf of her, even if he is her own brother.
“I have never given her the wrong message. I even clearly explain to her that I only see her as a younger sister.” Zheng Weiqian felt a bit vexed.
“You–––” Zheng Xinya felt angered but could only sigh, “I don"t understand, what"s wrong with Xuanxuan. Whether it is family or looks, she is definitely better than her.”
“Xiao Ya, I know you and Xuanxuan are good friends, but the matter of the heart is hard to comprehend.” Zheng Weiqian admitted that he also doesn"t know why he is attracted to Fang Yan, but there he has this feeling that could not be found in other girls.
“Whatever you say, I won"t bother with your situation anymore.” Zheng Xinya knows that the people involved are firm in their manners, so her words won"t have any effect at all.
Fang Yan looked at the time, it is already 10, she should probably head home, even though she still wants to stay a bit longer.
“Granny, it is getting late, I should probably head home. I"ll come to visit some other time.” Fang Yan rose and bid Old Madame Zheng farewell.
“Ah! You have to go back?” Granny looks at the clock in the living room, “Oh yes, it is already late! Why don"t you stay the night? Who knows when you are going to come back to visit me.” Granny complained in a little voice.
“Hehe, I"ll come to visit you again in a few days” Fang Yan guaranteed.
“Really?” Granny looked at Fang Yan with uncertainty.
“Really what?” Zheng Weiqian arrived in the living room and heard the last piece of what they were saying.
“Weiqian ah, it"s a good thing you came. Fang Yan wants to go home, why don"t you send her. It is not good for a girl to go out alone this late at night.” Granny saw Zheng Weiqian arrive and said.
“OK.” Zheng Weiqian took his coat and walk towards the door.
“Granny, goodbye.” Fang Yan smiled and followed Zheng Weiqian out.
“Don"t forget to visit in a few days.” The old madame didn"t forget to say to the departing figure.
In the car, Fang Yan looked out at the night. No one spoke, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
“I feel like you from Shanghai and you from the small town are not the same.” Zheng Weiqian broke the silence.
She glanced at him and faintly said, “The environment could change a person"s att.i.tude. In a big city, the pace of life is fast, so I don"t have time to experience the city"s bustling. In the small town, it is not the same. The rhythm is slow so I don"t have to walk too fast and enjoy everything around me. Adapting to the environment is a natural instinct to survive, different environments naturally create different people, there is nothing strange about that.”
Zheng Weiqian turned to look at her, he doesn"t know which one is the real her. The one who cried in his arms and bickered with him in the small town, the one who doesn"t want to get involved with him when they came back, or the one who is indifferent at this moment.
“Which one is the real you?” Zheng Weiqian lowly asked.
Fang Yan lightly smiles, "They"re all me".
When he felt a bit stifling, Zheng Weiqian changed the topic, “I didn"t think my mom and dad would invite Uncle Hao today. If I had known, I wouldn"t have invited you to come.”
“It doesn"t matter, it was still a great dinner.” Although she was surprised at first, it was still a good surprise. But it seemed that it allowed everyone to misunderstand.
“You really don"t mind being misunderstood by Uncle Hao?” When he heard that she said she didn"t care, Zheng Weiqian wondered if there really is anything going on between her and Uncle Hao.
“I mind.” The thing that she is most worried about is her father misunderstanding her and Zheng Weiqian"s relationship, so how can she not mind.
“You and him are not a good fit.” Feeling a little stuffy, Zheng Weiqian rolled down the window.
“You are involving too many people in this matter, it is too dazzling. I just want to live peacefully and comfortably.” He definitely involved too many people, especially those that she doesn"t want to see.
“Then what about Uncle Hao?” Uncle Hao is also the subject of many media attention.
Fang Yan looked at him humorously, understanding what he meant when he asked if she minded.
Zheng Weiqian frowned. He doesn"t understand why she suddenly laughed, however, he felt like she was laughing at him so he unconsciously turned red from embarra.s.sment.
He angrily asked, “What are you laughing about?”
When she finally calmed down, she said, “No-nothing.” Then she caught a glimpse of his red ears and couldn"t hold back her suppressed laughter anymore and let it out.
.
Zheng Weiqian glared at her. The car slowly entered Fang Yan"s neighborhood and then stopped in front of her apartment.
“Thank you for sending me back, goodbye.” Fang Yan courteously thanked and got off the car. When she got out of the car, she bent down and looked at him in the window, “You look very cute with red ears.” Then, she turned and left.
Zheng Weiqian looked at the departing figure and embarra.s.sedly touched his hot red ears.
In the quiet night, Zheng Weiqian could clearly hear that woman"s clear and delicate laugh.
When Zheng Weiqian went back to the villa, Fang Minghao already left. He originally wanted to greet him but now he just let it be. Just as he was about to return to his room, he remembered that he hasn"t shown his dad this month"s company plans. He took the plans from his car and brought it to his parent"s room.
When he was about to knock on the door, he didn"t expect to hear an interesting conversation.
“I didn"t think that Fang Yan is Minghao"s daughter.” Zhang Haiying still couldn"t believe what she heard earlier.
“No wonder she looked similar to Fang Yu.” Zheng Jialun was also a bit sorrowful.
“Yes ah, why didn"t they tell us when they got married?” Zhang Haiying doesn"t understand why they didn"t contact them even though they were good friends. Even now, everyone thought that Fang Minghao is still single.
“I didn"t expect that Fang Yu is already gone for eight years. We should find a time to go see her.” Although they didn"t know for 10 ten years, now that they do, they should still go see her.
“En.” Zhang Haiying nodded, “ What exactly happened that year? Why did Fang Yu just suddenly leave?”
“I don"t know, but it looks like Minghao doesn"t want to talk about it.” Zheng Jialun said.
“Then should we tell Weiqian about Fang Yan?” Zhang Haiying suddenly remembered that her son is chasing Fang Yan.
“Let Fang Yan tell Weiqian, let"s not get involved with the younger generation"s situation.”
“En.”
She is Uncle Hao"s daughter?! Zheng Weiqian didn"t expect to get so surprised by this news. At first, he thought they were–––that is why he would print on the newspaper, but it seems like the truth was like this.
Heh. Zheng Weiqian smiled and shook his head. He now understands why Fang Yan was laughing so happily and it is not only about his red ears. He didn"t knock on the door and headed back to his room with a plan.
Zheng Weiqian realized that when he found out that Fang Yan is Uncle Hao"s daughter, he felt secretly delighted inside. He admitted that Fang Yan was like a mystery, making him want to understand and know everything about her. In her eyes, he could clearly see her loneliness.
Zheng Weiqian admits that he isn"t a very compa.s.sionate person. But when he saw that she didn"t have a place to stay, he couldn"t bear to take her to the police station and instead took her home. When he saw her crying, he couldn"t bear to see her tears and gently appeased her as he held her. When he saw her surrounded by those reporters, he couldn"t bear to see her helpless face and pulled her tightly to his chest.
What Lin Yifan said is correct, the way he looks at her is different because he found himself slowly falling for her from the very beginning.
